Summary
With a height of 13 feet and a length of 1454 feet, the dam has a storage capacity of 153 acre-feet, providing essential water resources for the surrounding area. The dam also serves as a habitat for various fish and wildlife species, contributing to the conservation efforts in the region.
Despite being categorized as having a low hazard potential, Kilgore #6 poses a moderate risk, with a moderate risk assessment rating of 3. The dam has a spillway width of 45 feet and a maximum discharge capacity of 420 cubic feet per second, ensuring the safe release of excess water during heavy rainfall events. The dam has not been inspected since its completion in 1990, highlighting the importance of regular maintenance and monitoring to ensure its structural integrity and safety.
In the picturesque setting of Greene County, Kilgore #6 stands as a vital water resource and conservation area in Alabama. With its strategic location on TR-BRUSH CK., the dam plays a key role in supporting the local ecosystem and providing recreational opportunities for water and climate enthusiasts. As efforts continue to assess and manage the risks associated with the dam, it remains a significant asset in the region's water infrastructure and environmental conservation initiatives.

Dam Data Reference
Condition Assessment
SatisfactoryNo existing or potential dam safety deficiencies are recognized. Acceptable performance is expected under all loading conditions (static, hydrologic, seismic) in accordance with the minimum applicable state or federal regulatory criteria or tolerable risk guidelines.
Fair
No existing dam safety deficiencies are recognized for normal operating conditions. Rare or extreme hydrologic and/or seismic events may result in a dam safety deficiency. Risk may be in the range to take further action. Note: Rare or extreme event is defined by the regulatory agency based on their minimum
Poor A dam safety deficiency is recognized for normal operating conditions which may realistically occur. Remedial action is necessary. POOR may also be used when uncertainties exist as to critical analysis parameters which identify a potential dam safety deficiency. Investigations and studies are necessary.
Unsatisfactory
A dam safety deficiency is recognized that requires immediate or emergency remedial action for problem resolution.
Not Rated
The dam has not been inspected, is not under state or federal jurisdiction, or has been inspected but, for whatever reason, has not been rated.
Not Available
Dams for which the condition assessment is restricted to approved government users.
Hazard Potential Classification
HighDams assigned the high hazard potential classification are those where failure or mis-operation will probably cause loss of human life.
Significant
Dams assigned the significant hazard potential classification are those dams where failure or mis-operation results in no probable loss of human life but can cause economic loss, environment damage, disruption of lifeline facilities, or impact other concerns. Significant hazard potential classification dams are often located in predominantly rural or agricultural areas but could be in areas with population and significant infrastructure.
Low
Dams assigned the low hazard potential classification are those where failure or mis-operation results in no probable loss of human life and low economic and/or environmental losses. Losses are principally limited to the owner's property.
Undetermined
Dams for which a downstream hazard potential has not been designated or is not provided.
Not Available
Dams for which the downstream hazard potential is restricted to approved government users.
